Former NCAA coach Paul Hewitt has been hired to coach the Agua Caliente Clippers at next month’s G League bubble of a season, according to Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times.
Hewitt has worked as a Clippers scout since 2016. Before that, he was a widely respected coach at Siena, Georgia Tech and George Mason. He led Georgia Tech to the 2004 national championship game, where it lost to Connecticut.
“Hewitt’s coaching staff with Agua Caliente will include assistants Natalie Nakase, Chris Holguin, Darryl LaBarrie and Doug Martin, according to a person with knowledge of the hirings not authorized to speak publicly on the matter,” Greif reported.
Hewitt, 57, will replace Brian Adams, now an assistant with Doc Rivers and the Philadelphia 76ers.
The G League bubble tips off in mid-February at the same Disney campus on which the NBA concluded its 2019-20 season.
